CureVac announced that it, along with GSK, has entered into an agreement to resolve a patent dispute with Pfizer and BioNTech. The dispute was related to mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines, bringing an end to the litigation. This settlement removes a significant legal overhang for Pfizer and BioNTech concerning their COVID-19 vaccine, Comirnaty. The resolution avoids further protracted legal battles and potential financial liabilities associated with patent infringement claims. The agreement signifies a move towards a more stable intellectual property landscape for mRNA vaccine technology. This development allows Pfizer and BioNTech to continue their focus on vaccine production and distribution without the immediate threat of this specific patent challenge.
